    Still hard to say because he hasn't beaten an elite fighter, but Kabeyel finding that hook to the body had made him a different fighter, and a legit contender. I think in time he will prove to be the answer.

    It could still be Whyte, even - dude always did have a mean left hook.

    His best is long behind him, though, no question.

    Yeah that's a good shout.

    I feel like a lot of heavies are lacking this shot. Fury never developed a good left hook. Dubois primarily relies on his right. AJ has a good win but he under utilizes it. Parker has a decent one. Kabayel has a pretty good one.

    But i can't think of any stand outs. Except maybe past it Whyte or Joyce.

    Unfortunately this era lacks in actual skilled professional hw boxers. With depth to the skill learning the art of boxing. So many can’t even punch correctly which is appalling for a professional boxer.

    most coaches are just fitness coaches and don’t teach the art of boxing.
